senior market correspondent julie hyman on charter communications. julie: china continues to work on a takeover of right house networks. it sees that deal as a precursor to potential bid for time warner cable. this according to people with knowledge of the matter reported by alex sherman and ed hammond. charter had already agreed to by bright house for $10.4 billion, however, that acquisition was contingent on comcast buying time warner cable. that deal is no longer happening but included in the agreement was the ability of the two to continue to negotiate for 30 days that was called off. after the comcast-time warner cable deal called off and that happened april 24. some of the market has been discounting that this deal will happen but indeed, those discussions are still active and they could continue after that 30lusivity period that lasts days end. we are watching those shares of

charter on the news coming out and looks like shares are down slightly. they did spike up after headlines came out but since then they have come down. they are trading lower back -- by about .8 of 1%. he will update you on their activity throughout the afternoon. betty: julie hyman, our senior markets correspondent. pimm: additional breaking news. the senate ranking committee richard shelby has committed changes -- has proposed changes including oversight of the new york fed and a new commission with authority over the entire fed system and also regulatory relief or some banks. joining us on the phone from capitol hill with more details, chris condon. tell us what exactly is the proposal? iris: a couple of things would put my finger on right away. the first thing is what the bill did with regards to the fed when it says not include and that is interesting.

there is no interference with the independence of the monetary policy setting of the fed -- the way the fed sets interest rates and in terms of independence in setting those. the second thing i would note is there are some subtle shifts of power away from the fed board, those are the governors who work in washington, appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. there is a shift in power from them to the wider federal open market committee which includes the regional debt bank presidents. chris, give us any estimate based on what you know about janet yellen and what her position is versus this new proposal by the senator. chris: i think there are some things that may anoint the fed, but overall, there are no new requirements in here. the fed was very much worried about whether lawmakers might

seek to interfere with the way they set monetary policy, the independents. there were several different proposals that might have sought to meddle in that area but for the most part, it really has avoided that. a linetingly, there is being drawn on the way the fed supervises the largest banks. there has been a lot of upset over whether the fed has properly policed the biggest banks on wall street. -- excusewould set up me, would require the gao, the watchdog group that for -- that reports to congress, to report regularly on whether -- on how the fed supervises the biggest things. betty: what is the significance of moving more power to the broader fomc? a couple of i think

things. first of all, generally, the ofrd is viewed as sort washington insiders. there is a better relationship in many cases between lawmakers on capitol hill and some of the fed regional banks. some of those dead presidents are viewed as more in touch with the banking and business communities out in the country. viewing the board as being more insulin. -- insular. this would give the authority to the wider body that includes the fed presidents. the power to set the interest rate on excess reserves. that is an important rates. the key fed rate as you know, but at the moment, the rate that has the greater influence on setting real market rate has

charges rate the fed for banks to deposit money at the fed, the excess reserves. --returning bad to the fomc in returning back to the fomc and lawmakers are saying they would like to make sure -- the real power of controlling short-term market interest rate -- remains with the body that is supposed to be making that policy, not with just the board of governors as it is at the moment. pimm: thank you, chris condon in washington. up, shares of aol's soaring today after verizon agreed to by the company for $50 a share. a 17% premium over monday's close. we will take a look at what is driving this deal. compensating the families of 100 people killed related to faulty ignition switches.

feinberg will join us with details. betty: we will look at the legacy of david boys, -- david sides of the coin. other top stories this morning -- verizon taking over a well, the top story. the wireless giant paid $50 a share for the internet company and this would be verizon's biggest moved to buy new revenue streams beyond calling and data. verizon -- will verizon get what it pays for? allen is the chairman and founder of rick crawford partners, alec, you and i just spoke about this before you came on. you are one of the original backers of aol right? allen: approximately 1984. betty: 1984! allen: approximately. company anda game

steve case -- steve was the chief marketing and ourselves and at that time it was alan patrick of associates and hamburg chris and i believe it may have been citigroup's, venture capitalists and a company called international nickel venture capital made the investment to take it out of bankruptcy. betty: did you exit when they got pop by time warner? alan: long before that. betty: you made good money on aol? we did very well. it is hard to believe they have over 4 million customers. in those days, they struggled for a long time. pimm: everyone is making a deal of the ad technology platform that a well has which is what verizon buys as part of the deal. who are the biggest competitors? alan; deservedly so, they are in major media content service between huffington post.

andington post is there gadgets, techcrunch, tim armstrong's emphasis has been in bringing content and media and becoming more of a media content which is obviously the basis of advertising they get. betty: i don't know, pimm, did you see some of the twitter -- twitter went on fire after this deal was announced this morning. i just want to show you -- we don't have this? ok, there were lots of tweets out. one of them i will read to you poor me coffee -- verizon is buying a well but there should be no service interruption for the dial-up account your grandma does not need or knows she has. has a wellfe still accounts. i am sure the change will be upsetting to her, but verizon now has a huge rock band

business and there are a lot of potential customers who i am sure will consider shifting over to verizon as a result of the emphasis they will get to the new services. placed on your experience with internet companies that rely on advertising and businesses that rely on advertising, verizon on advertising, that is a different model than what they are used to. ben: i don't think it will a small fraction, but nevertheless, whether they like it or not, advertising is a major component even if you are a network. you have to have advertising. we all like subscription but magazines are always taste on two sources, subscription and advertising. the media and internet -- pimm: they will do this with the verizon system that brings high-speed digital access to your home so you are not necessarily going to cable providers? exactly. broadband is where everything seems to be moving. customerse long-term

with dial-up will still probably stay with it for old habit but people will convert over the years because there are more services. i think it is a natural combination. you are bringing content and advertising to what is a wireless and over the top -- betty: right. it's now tour now but may not have seen natural five years ago except for the explosion of video online, right? we have talked about sort of the way tim armstrong has put together this powerhouse ad platform, but there is also the content side of it, right? verizon as well as at&t and other broadband providers are thirsty for content. this is exactly -- a time in thes venture capital business when none of us would touch content. today it is inevitable. content is in every place. we had of the company called makers studio which was content and elite daily -- betty: content never garnered

the kind of multiples we are getting from content now, right? alan: exactly. that's what i'm saying. the buzzwords today are mobile. video, over the top, and all of those things are front and center with this merger, so -- i have no knowledge of regulatory bodies but i think there is a good chance of getting it passed because there are a lot of complementary aspects here. pimm: the rise in being in the mobile phone business also controls what you see on your mobile phone. they have a gateway, right? if you want to put your content on there, distribution platform like a cable operator, you've got to get the ok. access -- theyet can't stop you from being on the mobile device. i think we all have smartphones and apps and a well has got all of those. i think it brings whole new dimension to verizon.

the image of two companies is very different and i think the combination will be one equaling three. pimm: thank you. betty: thank you. don't miss tim armstrong on bloomberg at 4:00 p.m. to talk about this make the deal. still ahead, harvard's loss is another ivy league's game. made anotherz and big real estate that but this time at his on the moderate gale. details, coming up. mater yale.n alma details, coming up. ♪

wine. maureen: a client brought me this bottle about four years ago. it took me 20 seconds to tell them it was the counterfeit bottle. wine fraud is not new. unfortunately, it is pretty safe to say that anybody who has been collecting and buying wine in the last 15 years has probably purchased at least one counterfeit wine. we manage private wine collections for individuals. people who are starting to collect all the way up to people who have tens of millions of dollars worth of wine. we also specialize in authentication of fine wine which is where the nickname the sherlock holmes of wine. it sounds really hokey but the first thing i do is spend a couple minutes just looking at it and taking it in. one of the things i am looking

one. what we have found is that -- so situationshat in 100 where a death occurred, the ignition switch was the proximate cause of the accident. based on looking at the police report, the photographs of the accident, the maintenance records, etc. ,t is an uncertain calculation and uncertain practice but we are comfortable with it. betty: isaiah looking through our story, ken, you have 37 more death claims and 589 injury claims. you expect that number to go up or is that about right? as ofe can't go up january 31. that was the deadline for filing a claim, so those that claims and those injury claims you just referred to, those are the remaining claims in our inventory that we are examining, analyzing, and we will determine

how many of them, if any, how many of them should be eligible for compensation. betty: u.n. i have talked throughout the process over the last several months or as though and each time it is very interesting to hear some of the revelation that you see from looking at these claims. are you learning anything new than what you and i spoke about back in december? are you learning anything new about these claims are g.m. itself? ken: not really. we establish this transparent public protocol that laid out the rules and the program. we administered that protocol in an impartial and fair way. -- as weave found is talked about earlier, betty, when you try and reconstruct accidents that occurred 10 years ago, it is very, very difficult. the car is gone, there is no

accident. that is our concern. all of this other discussion that i read about like you do, about allegations of cover, allegations of liability and all of that -- not on my watch. i am simply working with the ts to try and figure out, what, if they are eligible, and two, it a are eligible, what the competition should be. betty: before i let you go, being that you have gone to claims and like you said, some of them are decade old or more, what would you recommend going forward to either gm or other automakers as they issue more recalls? as consumers get calls and worrying -- cars and worry about recalls, what would you recommend to make the process better? there is stuff out there, two thirds of recalls -- two thirds of the people with recalled cars

don't even go to fix them. it is a bad problem out there where people are not even aware of some of these recalls. ken: betty, there are experts looking at this, on whether to recall, how to make recalls more effective, what gm or ford or chrysler other companies might do to encourage drivers to return their automobiles in a recall. is,of that, important as it is not on my watch. it is not part of my jurisdiction. i've got to focus on whether an individual claimant who lost a loved one or was physically injured in an automobile accident should be compensated under the limitations imposed by this program and we paid a lot of people. that is my focus. i cannot be diverted from that. we anticipate finishing this up. sometime in july, we hope, and

career of david boies. they just broke the profile of the legendary attorney already. a lot of people don't know this, you point this out in your story, david was not only does pierce attorney but he is also an entrepreneur. david eightn 1997, headlines when he left the archetypal corporate law form. -- law firm. he said he would set up a boutique and called it a country law office near his mansion in westchester. that has now morphed into a 300 lawyer powerhouse and it is one andhe most influential ubiquitous corporate litigation shops in the country. someyear, they pulled in $345 million. their partners are on an average of more than $3 million apiece and our article in businessweek is all about how boies has built his business.

he is also a notch up in your and not just a trial lawyer. betty: how has he been able to build his business and get his stature? paul: the real point of different -- differentiation for his business is that they play both sides of the courtroom. corporate law firms represent pretty much exclusively large corporations. they are mostly on the defense, smaller companies, government, consumers, so forth. that is the nature of law, that's when the money is. isid is more likely to -- just as likely to show up on behalf of the government or small consumers as they are on the half of a big company like dupont or oracle. betty: how is he able to do this? paul: he has broken through the assumption that a law firm has to declare fealty just to big corporations. the in-house general counsel interviewed and said that his

firm is so sharp and so willing to go to trial as opposed to compromise and so familiar with how their opponents think that they are willing to overlook their occasional lack of loyalty. this is basically a random identification. -- brand identification. we fight for either side. betty: he really displayed his skills in that level of expertise in this aig case. not quite over yet. what he has accomplished there is he took the case that hank greenberg suing the government saying he and other shareholders of aig were wrong by the taxpayer bailout of aig. the counterintuitive idea to most people and most people thought that we, the taxpayers, rescued aig. betty: and we got paid for it, too. paul: that is true. but greenberg did not like the way that was done and filed this long shot lawsuit seeking perhaps $40 billion and david

had taken a case that no one thought was winnable and basically made it a toss up. we are waiting to see what the judge will say. betty: i think everybody thought this deal -- this case is not going to go. paul: that's exactly right. the loan to aig, the $85 billion loan that came with the condition that aig turning over an 80% interest in their equity to the government, the. that -- the theory that that was somehow oppressive to the shareholders who otherwise would have seen the company go under and lose all their value. the notion that somehow the shareholders and greenberg deserve to be paid was seen as laughable and now it is seen as possible. betty: as, oh, my goodness, maybe that could be a ruling in favor of hank. is this the biggest case for david? paul: he has been involved in huge antitrust cases, defending

ibm, going after microsoft. he has been involved in huge social reform cases. gay marriage case, he defended that casen unsuccessfully in 2000. at the moment, this is probably the biggest influx casey is handling. it could be $40 billion. betty: amazing. paul, thank you so much for joining me. much more ahead on the bloomberg market day. blackstone shares their production for this year and beyond. stocks, bonds, and much, much more. ♪
